<p>I think I have an example that my help the OP</p>

<p>High school in south Louisiana
3 kids in highs school- two of whom scored 34 (good friends of mine) and one who scored a 36 (yours truly) on the ACT. One of the girls with a 34 never ever drinks, one socially on occasion, and i go through a case of domestics a weekend. The drinking thing is a personal preference and doesn't necessarily have any effect on academics or intellectual curiosity. Some people were raised this way, and some like to kick back and have a drink. I don't think that it is something you should worry about intensely </p>

<p>THIS IS WHY:</p>

<p>The drinkers (like me) are just as worried about people like you looking down on us for being drunkards (i dont mean this in a derogatory way) as you seem to be concerned about not fitting in with drinkers. </p>

<p>Dartmouth is multi cultural, and (from what people have told me) it seems that individuals arent usually singled out because of dfferences because thats what makes the school so special.</p>

<p>BTW, im sorry if i mis-characterized you, this just seemed like the case, I really only had the best intentions =)</p>

<p>"OP......go have beer.....then have four more and you'll understand"</p>

<p>I swear, that's what I said. I'd have a beer right now, except I'm going to class. They should put beer in the drink machines. Awesome.</p>

<p>When everybody has a beer in hand we are all multicultural and multilingual.</p>

<p>To be blunt OP, that was a really stupid question. Not everyone who drinks is the stereotypical oafish frat guy.</p>
